1. Summary of Infrared Thermometer
2. Safety precautions
Thank you for choosing our Infrared Thermometer. The PC868
Infrared Thermometer is used to measure an objects temperature
based on the relationship between temperature and measurable
infrared radiation. Simply aim the unit’s probe toward the surface
to be measured to obtain a quick and accurate temperature.
To ensure proper use, please be sure to read this user manual
carefully, paying close attention to the safety precautions.
In order to use this product correctly, please read the user
manual before use.
In order to properly use this product, please carefully read the
full text of this manual before using, in particular the “safety
precautions” section.
Please keep the instructions on the side for easy checking.
Basic principles:
All objects above absolute zero temperature emits certain
percentage of infrared radiation energy based on its temperature.
The amount of the radiation energy and the distribution of the
wavelength have very closely relationship. When human forehead’s
temperature in 36-37℃, it emits wavelength 9-13um of infrared
radiation. Based on this principle, according to the relationship
between surface forehead temperature and human forehead’s
temperature, we are able to measure the human forehead’s actual
temperature through measuring surface forehead temperature.
Warning
Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for
consultation with your physician. It is dangerous for user to
perform a self-evaluation and self-treatment based on the
measuring result. Be sure to follow doctor’s instruction.
Keep the thermometer out of reach of children. For accidental
swallow of battery or other component, please consult the doctor
at once.
Don’t throw the battery into fire.

When we measure somebody continuously, the temperature
should be measured every minute, if you need to measure yourself
Continuously for a short time, there are some slight errors when
you read the temperature ,which is a normal phenomenon. At this
time, we should choose the average. We recommend that you
measure yourself continuously maximum of three in a unit of time,
and because the temperature of the human will conduct to the
thermometer, it may affect the accuracy of measurement.
There is no absolute standard about the temperature of the
human, so please try to collect the recording of Individual
temperature in the usual, as a reference for having a fever or not.
Do not measure the sites of scarred tissue or tissue compromised
by skin disorders, because sensing body temperature from sites of
scarred tissue or tissue compromised by skin disorders.
